Overview

Go on a powder excursion in Sun Peaks this winter. Sun Peaks is famous for light, dry, “champagne powder” and European style village that is nestled at the base of three mountains. Enjoy award-winning downhill skiing and snowboarding and relax in upscale accommodation located at the base of the mountain with a huge outdoor heated pool.

This is a small group tour experience with approximately 22 guests. These tours are designed to provide our guests with the peace of mind that you can simply book the trip and we handle all of the details which includes negotiating the best rates for accommodation and activities, providing the transportation, and ensuring all safety policies are adhered to. You will travel with an experienced, friendly and fun trip leader who is there to assist you throughout the trip, show you around the ski mountain and village, and arrange any additional activities you may want to participate in for a discounted price.

This tour departs from Canada Place in downtown Vancouver but we can make additional pick-up stops on the way to Sun Peaks upon request.
